Getting Started
Xenopic turns your X (Twitter) profile banner into a live, auto-updating canvas — follower counts, activity graphs, revenue charts, fundraising goals, and more, refreshed for you automatically.
Read-only by design
Xenopic connects to X with read-only access plus the single permission needed to update your banner image. It never posts, likes, follows, or DMs on your behalf. See Is Xenopic safe? for exactly what it can and can’t do.
1. Sign in with X
Click Sign in with X on the home page and authorize Xenopic. We use X’s official OAuth flow, so your password is never shared with us. On your first sign-in we automatically capture a backup of your current profile, so you can restore it any time.
2. Build your banner
Open the Dashboard to reach the drag-and-drop builder. The canvas is the exact size X uses for banners — 1500 × 500 pixels. From the widget panel you can:
- Drag widgets onto the canvas and position them anywhere.
- Resize a widget by scaling it about its center.
- Set a custom background color or image.
Your banner is split into independent sections (banner, avatar, and profile details), so you can mix widgets across each.
3. Add widgets
Browse the Marketplace to install widgets. Some are free (text, background, followers, timestamp); premium data widgets like Stripe MRR and GitHub Activity cost coins to unlock. Coins are refundable — uninstall a widget and the coins come straight back.
4. Turn on auto-updates
On a free plan you update your banner manually with one click. On Pro and Premium, Xenopic re-renders your banner on a schedule and pushes it to X for you — see Auto-updates for the cadence and controls.
